Slim Pickens down at the Arch today. Got a few old bits.
The Matchbox Adventure 2000 tracked tank is for Junior. I just need the insertable front end vehicle now. He's seen my own as well as my Corgi Lasertron and Magnetron vehicles and is head over heels with them! [looking for Magnetron, Rocketron and Scanetron for him now].
The Pixels pocket bagatelle game is for Junior as well, as he said he'd seen the film. The Rolls is for me to touch-up and the Imperial dinosaur is stock.
There were 6 Imperial Toys lizard/dinosaurs at a pound each. I had one pound in my pocket left so I bagged this, the oldest from 1978. The rest were 1980.
You can see the model number 7957. Its interesting to note that Imperial also released the Apollo Moon Exploring carded toys we featured many times early on on the blog. These carded sets were all numbered 304.
I wonder if all the Imperial dinosaur numbers began with 7?
I remember a dinosaur toy made of the same substance as fishing lures…
